Fading the Thunder has not proven wise for the most part, but man 12.5 in Milwaukee with Giannis in the lineup. And OKC is pretty thinned-out due to injury down Alex Caruso, Isaiah Hartenstein, Andrew Wiggins and the Williamses. If the Thunder can still win by 13 at the end of a four-game trip, good for them.
FanDuel. It’s tough to pinpoint exactly which of the Thunder’s endless supply role players will pop, on any given night. But tonight, the options are narrowed, with Jalen Williams, Alex Caruso, Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams all out. Enter Isaiah Joe, who is shooting 41% from long range, with 2.3 makes in 19.4 minutes per game this season. The sharpshooter should be in for added minutes tonight in a great matchup. The Bucks allow the seventh most catch and shoot opportunities per game, at the sixth highest frequency. Joe has cleared this line in 10/13 games when he’s played just 22 minutes, and 10/15 overall without Jalen Williams.
I like this spot to fade Giannis against an elite Oklahoma Thunder team who are double digit favorites. Giannis also hasn’t been playing big minutes and is averaging under 30 MPG in the month of January. Considering the blowout potential, matchup, and Giannis recent playing time, this looks like a natural fade of the former MVP.
